    What is the optimal angle for minimizing work on an inclined plane?

    Movers want to set the ramp of their truck so that the work they do against the combination of gravity and friction is a minimum for crates moving up the ramp with constant velocity. µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and θ is the angle between the ramp and the ground. For the work to be a...
